We broke out some concrete for the plumbers and they had a “strong back” place the concrete for us. They had half a bag left over and I notice it says “SPEC-MIX”. The word “grout” is on the bag too. I was looking for the “brag section”, but couldn’t find what makes it so special. Would somebody fill me in? Thanks

The most common way to make your own parging mix is to use either Type S mortar for block or Type N for brick and add a concrete bonding additive.

Spec-Mix is a manufacturer of cement products..They custom blend mortar, grout, etc to engineer/architect specs mostly for commercial applications..
Grout is high strength concrete that is used to fill voids in critical spaces where load transfer is necessary. For example, once a levelling plate is placed on a pile cap or foundation and levelled, the gap between the plate and the foundation is filled with grout..It provides a strong base that can handle the load of the column..
